Taking the pick would have opened up options. Maybe they could have traded the 3 and 4 for another 2, or traded the 3 for a 4 and a 5. Especailly since, I believe, they will not resign him anyway.

We got players in the 3rd and 4th rounds (Wheaton, Thomas) that are legit 2nd round talents. Like Carnell lake said, of Shamarko Thomas is a couple inches taller, he's a 1st round pick. Stealing them later than they should have gone is the reason why I don't mind the Bell pick as much now.

Bell really is in a "prove it to me" mode with you huh? Go look at his college tapes. The kid was great with a crappy O-line. As much grief as posters gave Lacey for being good WITH a NFL line in front of him, you won't give credit to a kid who was great with nothing in front of him.

If they go to the zone blocking scheme, this kid is going to be dynamic in a "cut and go" running game. Why can't you see that? Please....go look at the game tapes of this kid.

I looked at the tape and the more I see I am loving it too, BUT, everything they show the line looks pro.

I watched Michigan State a few times on tv and just never came away that impressed with Bell....I don't think he is garbage but just never saw anything special about him.....

Every rookie has to prove they belong in the NFL last time I checked........

Todd Haley, Keven Colbert, Mike Tomlin are high Bell so I trust their opinion but at the sametime that doesn't mean Bell is guaranteed to be a star.....Trust me I hope he is a BEAST and he will have the chance since every RB on the roster behind him on the depth chart isn't starting RB material.......
